Just before Thanksgiving the Book Bank Foundation team brought gifts to encourage the hearts of homeless men, women and children in Atlanta.
April Wilson reports, "The 2008 Book Bank Foundation Family Day in Atlanta, was a great success. We were able to touch over 2000 families by providing education, food, clothes, books, shoes, and accessories to all those in need. I would say this was one of our best years. The ladies, men and baby's showed great appreciation toward The Book Bank Foundation. We made a positive effort to ensure everyone left with a few items, a smile and an uplifting message. It's not just about passing out goods, we wanted to touch the hearts of our people. We let them know they have choices, they can come out of the struggle and disappointments they've endured. Life can take a positive path, and they have to want to change for the better. I do believe they not only heard us, but will apply want they have learned. I would like to thank all of our volunteers and donors. Without you, this Family Day would not have been a success."
